Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Some enterprising mod moved the damn thread again....... Anyway sent an email to have it moved back to it's proper place.. again.. /sigh I swear whoever is the mod that keeps doing it really hates this show.. (off my soapbox)

LOVED THIS EPISODE! I mean.. I love Arata episodes Still though the whole "the temper of a Kyoto woman" was hysterical. I want to know more of their back story together because he knows her so well.. though I found amusing that the ONLY way he recognized her was by the mole on her face.. LOL!!!! And of course Shinobu being upset that she didn't immediately recognize him.. LOL!!!!

Yeah, I noticed the thread had moved too about a few hours ago I really think the thread should stay where it's at until maybe a few weeks after the season finishes.

And of course Shinobu being upset that she didn't immediately recognize him.. LOL!!!!

Lol, yeah, I think what really upset her was when Arata had said, and I quote "What are you doing to put on and lose weight so quickly?" Ouch!

Yea the only other way I would have recognized her would be her SNOWMARU T-Shirts. Unfortunately she was in her school uniform so I had no idea who she was until Arata so conveniently pointed out her mole.

Or maybe they just hate the fans. I'm just about there myself, actually. As for this thread, in the few hours since it was moved again to this secret hideaway, it's gotten more posts than I think it did all last week--so, maybe this is a good place for it afterall.

Maybe we could just take advantage of this and start a separate thread for each episode, MAL style, so we can discuss it freely without hiding it all in a "Spoiler" tag. Although 98.7% of the posts will still just consist of "[char1] x [char2]."

No.. it's on 17 pages thank you very much. Besides.. all current season conversations belong on Anime forum just like the rest of them. Chihayafuru Season 2 should not be singled out to be moved to a dead spot. Every single current season has one and the same thing happens to each of the discussions. Hell.. .some current season stuff isn't even on the 5th page and buried 8 pages back because no one cares. This one never leaves the first 2 pages. It belongs in Anime with the rest of the current season.

P.S Thanks for all the comments on this discussion thread I made, shows how many support this series have. Awesome stuff!

Just read that. Thanks for sorting it out even though I should be doing so my self. Thanks in advance.

Yay!!!! As soon as I hit the report to moderators the page got moved back.. LOL! Thanks to whoever moved it back!

I'm nervous about this week's episode.. will they actually disqualify Arata????

Yeah, it's great to see the thread back to where it belongs... but for how long will it be here this time?

Anyway, my bet is that they won't disqualify him. If u remember, he did ask a request of his parents if he were to win the individual tournament, and the way I see it, what would have been the point of his request only to have him later disqualified? Plus, this series seems to be going fast, so I expect him to win the individuals and be a challenger to the king of Karuta by the end of this season! But who knows, anything can happen I guess!

True however he doesn't control his fate and the head of the Karatu committee caught him red-handed.. I'm still trying to figure out how the heck they are going to break the rules just for him... Dangit.. Friday can't get here fast enough!

What a great episode. Enjoyed the game they finished playing from the last episode.
As always everything about it was awesome.
Queen at the window...scary stuff lol

Chihaya is a scary karuta opponent too, ear to fingers indeed!

Loved it, just love this show overall, makes me smile as soon as it comes on and I can watch it and listen to it over and over...Bought the first season and ordered the second, want to own these forever. The last two discs of season one come with drama CDs as well! Love the sounds of karuta!

What I didn't understand was why Nishida or "Porky" wanted to keep Desktomu-kun out of the playoffs. That seemed weird to me. It's obvious that the new guy Tsukuba was feeling tired, so wouldn't it make more sense to switch him out? Of course, maybe this is more "tough love" teaching from Nishida who seems to have taken interest in helping the new guy. What do you think his reason is?

Seems like no resolution was reached with Arata but

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

I think that Shinobu really will make good on her threat to forfeit if he does get disqualified.

I was so proud of Chihaya winning her match! I was worried she'd get too frazzled with the constant changing of card positions but she persevered!!
